I-COM Announces Hat Trick of New Appointments

Digital marketing agency I-COM has announced the expansion of its business development and marketing team with three new appointments.

Joining Dan Beardshall as Business Development Managers are Andy Edwards and David Gascoyne, who have over 30 years of marketing experience between them. Andy comes to I-COM with a background in e-commerce having worked at Visualsoft for a number of years, and David joins the team from Property Stream.

Completing the hat trick of new appointments is Liz Walmsley who has been promoted to Marketing Manager after two years at the Manchester-based company as Brand Marketing Strategist. Alongside her new marketing role Liz will continue to work with key clients with whom she has a strong relationship.

Mike Blackburn, Managing Director at I-COM, said: “2019 was an extremely busy year for I-COM and it was time to expand the team in order to keep up with demand. With 2020 now well underway, we’re delighted to welcome Andy and David onto the business development team.

“They bring with them invaluable experience, knowledge and a passion for digital marketing. Andy’s experience will complement our e-commerce strength and expertise while David joins us with a background in property as this sector is a new strategic focus for us this year.

Mr Blackburn continued: “We’re also excited to have Liz move up to the role of Marketing Manager. As an employee-owned business, we have a fantastic team of ambitious and creative marketing professionals and we’re proud to provide opportunities for personal development in line with people’s particular skills.”

The recruitment announcement follows the launch of a newly designed website for the company, complete with new branding and upgraded CMS platform. The website was refreshed as part of the agency’s ongoing 15-year anniversary celebrations that began with an extensive office refurbishment of its Grade II-listed headquarters on Portland St.
